This is a great breakfast/lunch cafe. The staff greats you like you're a regular and is very helpful in describing and steering you to the right choice of a generous menu. For a party of 4 we each got something different and we were all very happy with the choice and high quality of the food. Although the space is small, there was plenty of comfortable and cozy tables. Our server Rebecca was so very helpful and entertaining. I highly recommend this and will return when in the area. read more

The food for all 4 was good. The only issue we had was all 4 of our homefries were not cooked through so half the potatoes were uncooked. A rarity for sure. The service was good and great ambiance. The hash is from real corned beef. Cash is king here. My western omlett was very good. And my wife loved her eggs Benedict. We will be back. read more

Kristin's has been a staple in my life for a few years now! They are always so friendly and you are seated usually within minutes of arriving, even if it's a busy day. As a vegan, I find it hard to enjoy traditional diners, but I always order the super deluxe home fries with no cheese and some toast. There are so many options for everyone. Such a traditional diner vibe - I love it! Cash only but you can Venmo to pay as well. This is truly a New England staple! read more

Cute breakfast spot. Simple menu with delicious options. Friendly staff. Next time I'm going to try the gourmet pancakes.

PORTIONS. You can't leave hungry! From the service, atmosphere and food - everything was 10/10. The ladies who work there are friendly and attentive. The food was wonderful. My toddler ate the whole pancake and that says a lot. You can't beat the prices either, reasonable! It is a cash only diner and there's an atm inside. Street parking in the front and a huge parking lot in the back. A solid spot! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast here on a Sunday morning! We were seated almost immediately. We tried a couple different pancakes and I got an omelette. The portion sizes were pretty big and everything tasted really good. The veggie omelette had a lot of vegetables and came with toast and potatoes as well I had enough to take home. It was a very cute local feel and felt good to be supporting the business! Will be visiting again for sure!! Note: they only take cash or venmo but there is an ATM inside read more

My Order: Caramel Pecan Pancakes w/ a side of home fries. No complaints. I lost within 5 mins of eating my food. Took a small portion to go. I'll be back again to conquer the pancakes again. "Bank on it buddy" read more

The food is fresh and tastes delicious .the staff are very knowledgeable about the menu and appetizers.

Kristin's breakfast was a 10/10. I showed the waitress a picture from Yelp and said "I want that". She knew exactly what it was (the #6 super deluxe home fries). This was the savory breakfast that I wanted!! I also order a side of kielbasa, just because. I was impressed with the French toast and pancake variations available. read more

I don't typically write reviews because I don't believe in speaking ill of employees but I had to this time around. I've eaten here many times and the experiences have been good. However, this time around our experience was terrible. Our server was rude and nasty and she made us feel as if we were a burden on her. She judged the amount of food one of us ordered and then modified the order without consent. Then she became upset when we asked for plastic utensils and proceeded to tell us that we needed to ask for plastic utensils before hand so they didn't have to waste their silverware. Her overall attitude the entire time was very poor. Then she had a nerve to get upset when she didn't receive a tip. read more

Get here early, this place fills up quick!!! Came here with my son and various members of his hockey team during a tournament. The food was great, the service came with a smile, and it was relatively priced appropriately. Be advised though, I think it was cash or Venmo only. read more

Met an old friend at Kristins yesterday....Great breakfast!...well done!...A wide variety of dishes with lots of specials... everything was cooked to order and I would gladly come here again if I lived in the neighborhood read more

Great food with great service! Everything was great! And that is not normal, at other places anyway.

Fantastic! Great location and didn't have to wait. Service was awesome and menu was next level. I wish I were a kid, the pancake options were amazing!! I had the corned beef omelette and it was perfection. Homemade corned beef. Highly recommend a visit to Kristin's. Cash only, but they have an ATM on site. read more

Delay in review A 10, We ate on. Tuesday and the place was busy, well staffed and clean The Food was amazing, I got the egg scramble with ham cheese and added onions and mushrooms, eggs were fluffy hot and the cheese melted just right, I got a side of hollandaise sauce with great flavor. Raisin bread and home fries. Hubby got chicken and waffles. Waffles were fluffy and chicken was cooked perfectly. He also got the corn beef hash ordered extra crispy, it was exceptional, and not from a can, (biggest pet peeve). cut just right. Hot coffee and tea that was not stale. Staff was attentive and timely. Complements to the kitchen. We will definitely go back and already recommend to friends who are GF because they had a large gluten-free menu for breakfast.

Walked in with my sister after seeing the great reviews about the food & service. We were greeted & told to choose a spot where we felt comfortable. I ordered a tea & my sister had an orange juice. After waiting approximately 30 min (mainly caught up in conversation) we noticed people who arrived after us were being served but the waitress never returned to our table. I approached the counter to pay for our drinks to be told it wasn't necessary. Needless to say we ended up at ihop with seamless service from beginning to end. I never had this experience in Braintree...definitely disappointing. read more

Your typical American breakfast. Good food and decent prices along with good service. They only take cash. read more

Service wasn't the greatest food was normal American food. Walked in and didn't get greeted til 5 minutes later when they clearly saw me. The good thing is they take Venmo so you don't have to worry about remembering to bring cash! Would I come back? Ya just for a quick breakfast stop if everywhere else was full. read more

My fridge ran so empty a college student would take a look inside and cry. Technically I do have ramen, but I am of the age now when Ramen for breakfast would be a bad idea. Since I had a day off and decided to venture out for breakfast. Passed this place a couple times; and decided to give it a try. I was feeling French Toast, and was recommended the Coffee Cake French Toast. I had my hopes set pretty high of the deliciousness scale, but found myself very disappointed. Rather than being something gently crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside, this was like a recipe from a children's video game. It appeared as though one side of a rather large slab of coffee cake was dipped into an egg mix, and then griddled on both sides. Furthermore, it was very fry on the inside, dryer even then I remember regular coffee cake being. The little crumblies also didn't remind me of a coffee cake too much. I will give them credit for having good service! I'm hoping this was a one-off, a bad dish, or a bad day in the kitchen. I will give them a second chance at some point, I'll just steer clear of the coffee cake french toast. read more

Finding kielbasa on a regular breakfast menu is like finding an oasis in the desert. Not quite as lifesaving but equally thrilling! Maybe we need to get out more.... Kristin's is the quintessential breakfast spot; Cozy but not too small, vibrant counter action, super friendly staff, huge portions, reasonably priced (cheap, actually), and food so yummy you'll never again eat at home. Pancakes are about one inch thick and cover a dinner plate. No exaggeration. Ours were plain but the options seemed endless! One of us has a smaller appetite so the kid's breakfast was more than enough. One egg, pancake or toast, and breakfast meat. We up-charged to kielbasa and were richly rewarded. The kielbasa was perfectly seasoned, had a great snap to the skin, and was more than big enough for the kid's breakfast. The other, with a heartier appetite, had plain pancakes and kielbasa. The pancakes were anything but plain. They were fluffy, perfectly cooked and soooo flavorful; and huge, as mentioned above. Note: Kristin's is cash only. They have an ATM and I think one can use Venmo. Yelpers brought us here and we are mighty grateful. Thanks, all! read more

Great little diner style spot that has soo many options for breakfast! I have never seen so many pancake options. We tried the coconut banana and pancake ones. Absolutely yum, and huge! There was a wait when we arrived Sat late morning but once seated overall wait on food wasn't terrible considering how busy they were! read more

Kristin's Breakfast & Lunch - Some menu options - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Braintree, Massachusetts

So hopeful based on menu and other reviews. Found a piece of plastic in my omelette after the fourth bite and it wasn't a little piece. It was about 2"x 3/4"!. Waitress seemed uncharted, did apologize, and asked if I wanted something else. Had to ask for another napkin and fork to eat my grilled muffin as attempt 2. When original plate brought over, two pieces of toast fell on the table when she put the plate down. She asked if I wanted more toast, but again, seemed unphased. Also asked for no home fries, but they came anyways. Waitress was not very welcoming. Definitely not going back and wouldn't recommend it. read more

I visited this restaurant today 8/5/25 at 11 am. I am African American, as soon as I walked in, I was not greeted. That's fine, wanted take out, I placed my order, patiently waited to pay. I sat at a table closest to the door, a party of 3 came in, and was directed to the table I was sitting at. The waitress didn't address me, nor apologized for basically forcing me out of my seat. I was extremely uncomfortable. I called my boyfriend while the manager was around to discuss the situation, he didn't help either. I stormed out. THIS IS PLACE IS NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN FRIENDLY. I DID NOT FEEL WELCOME NOR COMFORTABLE. NEVER AGAIN. read more
